TripAdvisor Traveler Rating
Highly recommend booking your holiday here ??
merman80 (Manchester, United Kingdom) on Jan 18, 2026
We’ve had the best time here, in particular thanks to Johana, Cynthia and Stephanie in the entertainment team and Genny in the Tucan lobby bar. Always happy to see us, ask how our trip is going and have really made this holiday fantastic. There’s plenty to do across the resort and the facilities are great. Yes some of the rooms do need upgrading but you’ll spend most of it outside and the beds are extremely comfortable (ask for the super king size if staying in a couple). The hotel is closing for a full renovation to update the rooms in May 2026 for 6 months, some rooms have been upgraded already. Food and drinks have been plentiful and good quality, definitely book the Japanese restaurant for the theatre of it too. The grounds and wildlife are a great addition, flamingoes, coati and of course the peacocks roaming around (plenty more wildlife too) sets this resort apart from others I have stayed in Playa Car previously. I’d definitely return.
A wonderful paradise!

This is a beautiful resort which has exceeded our expectations. Everything from the hotel grounds with plenty of wild life and natural tropical gardens, to the accommodations, the amazing beach with white sand and turquoise water, variety of food, impeccable service, and environmentally friendly practices, were truly worthy of 5 stars. It is, now, by far our favourite resort and we cannot wait to return.
